Answer:

22 January 2020

Step-by-step explanation:

Nägele's Rule is a method to determine the due date of pregnancy using the last period date as an input value. Please be aware that this method does not take into account leap years.

The calculation goes as follows:

Last Menstrual Date (LMP) + 9 months + 7 days = Predicted Due Date
